Naoya Inoue vs Murodjon Akhmadaliev - Facebook

Its dead because he moved up and killed everyone. Now he'll set his sights back on Bantam and wash Junto. His next fight is already agreed for 122 against Picasso in Dec. Junto also moved up to 122, that hopefully happens in 2026

3 rounds to Akhmadaliev was an extremely generous scorecard. Agreed , I didn't give him one. 120-108 was the score here. The judges gave MJ some sympathy rounds. Inoue boxed him up like a two piece from Popeyes.

That was a blowout. Monster just put on a masterclass on MJ. He just told the crowd, he can also fight this way. Gonna be unlikely for anyone to beat him.

I think his resume will be fine. Its much better than the likes of his country Gushiken, who is highly respected by the boxing community. Im just saying he will be like great movies that have a cult following but rarely mentioned in lists. He never really hit the mainstream like past greats.

Right but 122 was not a note worthy division to begin with anyway. And if 122 is truly his limit then ya Junto is the only name i see close to his weight. It sucks he doesn't have a era of fighters like Pac did coming up with JMM, EM, MAB. Because history will not be kind to him in 10 years. I think his resume will be fine.

Missed it. What were the judge's totals? Hoping to salvage SOMETHING from this weekend besides 30 lousy points...

Think I may take orders to Japan in 2028....those japanese ring girls need BBC

What rounds did they give MJ? Didn't look like he even had a close round, never mind winning a round.

That must be discouraging for MJ. He was dominated from round one till the end of the fight. Got beat up a in some of those rounds too. It looked like 2 different classes of fighter. Inoue looked sharper than usual. His defense was really good and his feet were unusually quick.

So The Monster just washed the boogie monster that everyone propped up after he smashed Cool Hands. How many times do we need to repeat this cycle?

He's trying not to get knocked out. Completely outclassed. He should've gone out on his shield. Now probably a 2 year wait until another title shot.

This division is dead. It has no fighters that can compete with Inoue athletically. Its dead because he moved up and killed everyone. Now he'll set his sights back on Bantam and wash Junto.

MJ has one gear, he literally knows he's losing and is making no adjustments or changes. He's trying not to get knocked out. Completely outclassed.

Inoue's face doesn't have a single mark on it.

Inoue might have hired some African American fighters for sparring, because he looks exceptionally slick today.

MJ had a moment and then got beat up for the rest of the round. Looked bothered.
